I’m currently using Fedora KDE Plasma, but I’d like to try out a tiling window manager. What would you all reccomend? I use my computer for school, so I would like it to be stable.

    In my day (today) we would create a test user, install a new WM and try it. I don’t get the “install the full distro on a VM just to try a program just a few kbs in size”…

        Again, how is it different than installing directly on your machine? Especially when you have a package manager that can rollback the installation?

          Well, as I said, it gives you the whole thing from scratch, in addition it doesn’t fuck with your menus. Finally, and most importantly, maybe people don’t like experimenting on their main machine.
